Renewal Information

3. You will see a single list of all the membership classes and whether you can renew it, upgrade to it or subscribe to it.

4. Subscribe options will only appear if you don’t have an active membership, i.e. your current membership has expired. If you want to change to a cheaper class of membership, e.g. from printed to digital, then you will need to wait for these to appear.

5. Renew options will only appear 150 days before your active membership is about to expire. You can choose to renew any membership classes you have previously used.

6. Upgrade options allow you to move to a higher class of membership mid-year, for example from digital to printed Cheshire Ancestor by paying the difference in price. NB this is not cost effective late in a membership year (1st July- 30th June) as it expires at the end of the membership year.

7. Payments can be made by PayPal/card payment/standing order/cheque - just choose the appropriate option on the payment page.

Renewal by Standing Order/Cheque

1. If you RENEW by standing order or sending a cheque, then there is no absolute need to do anything via the site to renew as arrival of the payment will trigger your renewal.

2. However, there is no harm in using the online renewal process and choosing the Offline Payment method as this signals your intention to renew.

3. Using the online renewal method will trigger emails that include details of how to pay as we periodically must change the address to post cheques to.

5. If you decide to change your payment method from standing order to some other method, then please ensure you cancel your standing order with your bank

NB: If you need to change any of your details, e.g. address/telephone number/email address/Gift Aid status then you can do this yourself via My Profile. It is recommended you check the details we hold before you Rnew/Subscibe/Upgrade to ensure all communications with you go to the correct destination.

Please quote your membership number as a reference on the back of the cheque

NB To find your membership number navigate to My Membership/Member Admin/My Profile and look at the FHSC Membership tab
